How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Brochure, DVD from Dartmouth, went over my AMCAS and secondary

What impressed you positively?

Everything! I absolutely loved the hospital, people, Dartmouth Green, nature... The whole campus (even outside) has wireless internet. Everyone seemed real happy to be there.

What impressed you negatively?

Perhaps 30 minutes were not enough for an interview. I did not get much time to ask questions. I wished we could talk more, but there were other candidates waiting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. However if you are staying at Hanover Inn, make sure to ask for a special rate for DMS candidates. Oh yea, I expected an open-file interview, however one of my interviewers did a closed-file. No big deal though - he is a great fellow who seemed genuinely interested to get to know me.

What are your general comments?

I had a blast. There was quite a bit of downtime throughout the day, however I spent it talking with others. We had a great bunch of candidates there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
